My youngest daughter wrote these lyrics for her musical composition, which she played on her guitar and sang to her Mother on Mothers Day as her gift to her. It's an example of her philosophy. One presented in a jovial way, that is, less is more. In this instance her gift cost her nothing, but her precious time, a priceless eternal gift to her mother, a Mother whose the best Mother, and oh yes and is simply the best, as she's also my wife.

You're the Best

Thank you for taking me everywhereFor always being there for everything

Thank you for all the warm hugsFor the endless love and encouragement

Thank you for all the small thingsLike movies, coffee and cakeEven cans of braised steak

Thank you for always saying yesTo buying me a new dressOr a new pair of shoes

You're the bestYou're so selflessSo much more than many other mumsYou're the bestYou're ten out of tenOn the scale of selfless devotion

Thank you for singing to meWhen I was in the wombThank you for my pretty yellow room

Thank you for the idiosyncrasiesOh how they have taught meThe science of heredity

Thankyou for the words of wisdom when I was sadFor not telling dad, how much my shoes cost

Thankyou for teaching me right and wrongThankyou for being strongWhen I was awful to you

You're the bestYou're so selflessSo much more than many other mumsYou're the bestYou're ten out of tenOn the scale of selfless devotion

Well I would be singing all day to mention the restSo in summary I repeat youre the best

I think you should pat yourself on the backFor all that your've achievedFor passing on your genes

Especially the musical oneOf course of those there are tunesClearly evident in this piece !! (ha ha)

You're the bestYou're so selflessSo much more than many other mumsYou're the bestYou're ten out of tenOn the scale of selfless devotion

Form, of mystery, light spread out from sing-ul-ar-ityA form, continues, with each breath, symbol of my life as yetSo, let me know no more, that I may know the splendorOf the light filled, ONE agenda

Form of ONE, itself to knowForm of two, a desire of ONEForm of memory, the ONE it knowsThe ONE true Light of Love

Form, is it but our own reflection, illusions of our expectationHidden in the time of present, lonely in its own pure presenceContinued on, deep within us, calling forth, our own surrenderOf the light filled, ONE agenda.

Form of ONE, itself to knowForm of two, a desire of ONEForm of memory, the ONE it knowsThe ONE true Light of Love

Form of worm hole travel backwards, space time changes stateThe conscious mind now existing, listens always, emotions birthThoughts will now last forever, guided by a spirits a lightTo the light filled ONE agenda.

Form of ONE, itself to knowForm of two, a desire of ONEForm of memory, the ONE it knowsThe ONE true Light of Love
